QUESTION: 1974 battered women's shelters in Australia?

question / pregunta: 

In reviewing the life of Anne Summers, one of the members of Women's Liberation in Sydney, Australia, journalist Anna Reynolds states that Elsie (which Summers helped establish from a formerly-abandoned house in 1974) was the first battered women's shelter in Australia.

In 1974, members of the Women's Liberation Movement in Melbourne established the Halfway House, a shelter for battered women and their children.

How can I verify whether Elsie was indeed Australia's first battered women's shelter or whether Halfway House (or another shelter) was already in existence by the time Summers and her fellow Women Libbers opened Elsie?

Library of Congress Subject Heading Suggestion Results

The following is a round up of the subject headings (24), cross-references (6), and subdivisions (2) suggested to the Library of Congress during our LCSH Blog-a-Thon. Included is anything that was legitimately tagged with rr_lcsh2008 on del.icio.us. Thanks to everyone who helped promote this effort, and huge thanks to everyone who participated.

Members of Radical Reference hope to work with catalogers, particularly those from the RADCAT discussion list to SACOfy suggested headings that haven't previously been submitted to LC in a formal manner. However, we also think that it would be nice if the form weren't the barrier that it is for non-cataloging librarians to contribute subject heading ideas.

I'm researching the first half of 20th century US History and I'm looking for some decent academic works (prefably books)that address this time period. General overviews (yet not the typical discourse) of the 20's and 30's are areas that I need the most help in, but anything regarding 1900-1950 would be great.

QUESTION: Prison Library Systems and Statistics

question / pregunta: 

I'm doing a research project for school and am hoping to become an activist/volunteer in the area of prison libraries. For the topic of my research, I'm hoping to find a direct correlation between the existence of prison libraries with the rehabilitation period for incarcerated people. I'm having trouble finding such specific information. My questions are: 1. Are there any sources (demographic, statistical) that are devoted specifically to this project? and 2. Is there anyone with first-hand experience in this area that could share points of view or personal stories?
